Minor changes to permissions
For example, the first beta changes the way apps can access media files once you’ve given them permission to do so. While apps still had access to all file types on shared storage in Developer Preview, permission is now more granular and limited to individual file types, photos, videos, and audio files. If an application wants to access multiple types of files in memory, both types are queried in one dialog, not one after the other separately.
One of Google’s goals is to focus more on data protection and access rights issues with Android 13.

The beta version can be installed on Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6 (test), Pixel 5a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 4a, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4.
